This past St. Patrick's Day, St. James the Less Parish in Eganville, ON, certainly saw the best of their local talent! Annually, Pastor Fr. John Lacey hosts an evening of Irish entertainment, as a fundraiser to support the Diocesan mission in Peru and a local charity. This year, St. James Parish generously selected OLSWA as the recipient of a portion of the event's proceeds. The evening began with Mass celebrated by Fr. Lacey and Fr. Ryan Holly. Following Mass, everyone gathered in the parish hall for an upbeat evening, complete with Irish jigs and reels, ballads, tap dancing, fiddle playing and more, performed by talent of all ages. Four students from OLSWA, Kathleen Dunn, David Groves, Rory MacIntyre and Elliott Warner, members of "Survived 88," were honoured to perform together at the event, alongside the many entertaining acts in the lineup. OLSWA would like to send a big thank you to Fr. Lacey and St. James Parish for showing their support for the Academy through their prayers and donations.
